[edit] Birth of the Italian Republic

I have edited the first part of Birth of the Italian Republic. Though I have made it flow a bit more smoothly, it feels like I have inadvertantly removed some of the previous meaning. I wish I was informed enough to add more sense to the article. It is long, unfortunately, and I suffer from attention deficit. :P

Anyways, it was just a test to see what I could do with Wikipedia. Hopefully, I can make a couple more contributions. This thing is great.

Hello, "Flinghighplato" and welcome to Wikipedia. A few tips for you:

Hello. In re moment (mathematics), please note that the "a" in "See also" and the "l" in "External links" should be lower-case; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Michael Hardy 22:15, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll try to remember that. --flyhighplato 03:42, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Also, it's "Flyhighplato", not "Flinghighplato". That just sounds ridiculous. --flyhighplato 16:47, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Mahalaxmi

Is it necessary to distinguish between Mahalaxmi location and railway station. Most of the railway station are based on a location. Entire Mumbai subarbs and railway stations share the same page. Alren 19:41, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, I just noticed that and fixed. It was linked to a template and I didn't realize it. --flyhighplato 19:42, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Mahalaxmi (railway station)

So I guess there's no need of Mahalaxmi (railway station) page. The Mahalaxmi (location) should incorporate the template. Also the pages for Mumbai Central and Parel needs to be addressed also. Alren 19:50, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Well, there is. Both the station and the suburb are called Mahalaxmi. I guess I called the suburb entry a "location", but maybe it should be something else? Since, technically, a train station is also a location. And, I guess, so is the temple. Should I move Mahalaxmi (location) to Mahalaxmi (suburb)? --flyhighplato 19:51, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)


Umm! I don't think so. Most of the stations (esp. in Mumbai) are named after the area they are in. Exceptions being the likes of Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, King's Circle, etc. In most cases there's not much speciality about the station (again exception - Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus), so the suburb and the station are mentioned together e.g., Bandra, Borivali. So I would recommend to have the station and suburb/location as the same page.Alren 20:05, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)


I disagree. I think there's a big distinction between the suburb and the station. Certainly, it's in the same area, but it's not the same thing. When you follow a link from the article describing the Mumbai rail station, you expect to read about the station, not the city. Perhaps the station could be a subheader underneath the city, I'm not sure. I think this is something that should be in the discussion page on the disambiguation page for Mahalaxmi. I want to see what people think. Is it okay if I copy this conversation there? --flyhighplato 22:38, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)


Sure. Though I would try having the conversation in Category:Mumbai railway stations and/or Category:Mumbai neighbourhoods (Or have a link from one to other). Alren 23:26, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Okay. Done. You can read my replies at Talk:Mahalaxmi. I also posted links from those categories. --flyhighplato 00:53, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] uploaded pics to NOAA

  • (William M. Connolley 23:17, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)) Hi. You uploaded a couple of pics to the NOAA page. You marked these as PD. They probably are, but since you didn't source them, its impossible to know. Can you add the source please?
    • I've added sources to the pictures now. Sorry. They should be there if you go to the picture's page. --flyhighplato 23:25, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • same situation on Frederick B. Dent Cavebear42 23:41, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • Sorry, I'm adding a whole bunch of Secretary of Commerce pictures off that site. I will go through and copy and paste my source after I'm done. I've done it for the two pictures in that article so that you can double-check my source, if you're curious.
      • I belive ya. Just i know that this sort of thing gets forgotten and then later we end up having to delete it because we dont know anymore where it came from. thankx for taking care of it. Cavebear42 23:52, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Commerce Secretaries

I'm glad to help. I am now also going to add a little more to some of your latest commerce secretary articles. Remember that there is no rush to do anything on Wikipedia. You can always post an article later after you have more information, writing one full article about someone before going on to the next one. That is how I wrote articles for many current United States senators last year when many of them did not have articles. But I understand that this is a hard project to do alone, and I will help as much as possible. A major concern is that many of these people did other important things besides being commerce secretary, and some people will be confused if they arrive on that page from a link where they are mentioned doing something else, and they are only mentioned as a commerce secretary, so other information needs to be added as soon as possible. Keep up the good work. Academic Challenger 07:18, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Silversmith

I reverted your change because blanking an article is never proper procedure. If you feel the redirect is inappropriate list it on Redirects for deletion. - SimonP 17:34, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] PVDF

hey Flyhigh, why did you remove the chemical formula from PVDF?

Duk 14:46, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • It looked like it was messed up. That is, I'm not a chemics, but I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be a symbol for an element at the end of every bond our double-bond and it looked like the ]n part was a messed up element. And I couldn't find the real formula or contact the original author. So, rather than misinform people or confuse them, I deleted it. If you know the actual diagram, or you know I am wrong and being dumb, please put it in. :P --flyhighplato 14:50, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The ]n means it is a repeated segment in a chain. I'm not a chemist either- so i'll do some more reading on it. Duk 15:05, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Okay, I see. I've restored it (and added some nowiki tags). I apologize. --flyhighplato 15:09, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
No apology necissary, looks like I neglected the left bracket, which is why it didn't make sense. I updated the page with an image and external link too. Duk 17:45, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Thanks. That looks much clearer! :) --flyhighplato 17:47, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Key (lock)

Just fyi, I put the u-lock thing in there as an example of a skeleton key being able to open a badly designed lock(see last sentence in paragraph). --Aqua 06:58, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

  • I believe that lock was able to be opened with a pen, not really a skeleton key. --flyhighplato 06:34, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Apa Tani

I see, I like the effort that you contributed to the Apa Tani article, which gives a lot of information about the tribe, and I am very grateful towards your act. However, I see that your gramatical structure is no good. If you can, can you please help me to cleanup the article? Thanks.

[edit] Wilmette History

Hi, I was just wondering: what was the source of the Wilmette history you added way back in 2004? A friend of mine at the Wilmette Historical Society tells me there may be some errors in it. Thanks for the info. --Jeremy Butler 18:59, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:BallBearings.jpg

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:EdwardJZander.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:EdwardJZander.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:MikeSZafirovski.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:MikeSZafirovski.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 19:41, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
